I am on it and have been for about a month and a half I guess. I had been on latuda and it didn't help me at all. I am on Lamictal and Gabapentin right now with the lithium. My dr had me on 900mg of lithium but I was having such bad vertigo she brought it down to 600. Turns out it was fluid in my ear! Its gone now but I seem to be doing ok on the 600mg. My brain battles me though because now I start to think maybe Im ok and don't need to take lithium. I mean Im not sad or doing impulsive things. And maybe Im not really bipolar but just go through phases.
I agree about needing to drink more as it makes me thirsty but nothing crazy.
